Hiring and training them is the best way to overcome crunch in talent pool
Members of the Karnataka Association of Resident Doctors have called upon the government to hire more qualified freshers and train them with a long-term perspective, especially in the wake of the third wave. In a report submitted to the government on preparedness for the third wave, the association, comprising house surgeons, postgraduates, and superspeciality residents of government medical and dental colleges, has said hiring qualified freshers and training them under the supervision of senior specialists is the best way to overcome the crunch in the talent pool. “The government should utilise undergraduate medicos in community health care promotion and this can be done as a part of their daily clinical postings,” association president Namratha C. told The Hindu. She said medical students were not getting practical exposure owing to COVID-19. “Hiring freshers and training them under the supervision of senior doctors/ specialists will not only provide them practical exposure but also the required manpower in the public facilities,” she said.More Related News
